Right, 2 new players. I counted ChiBitCTy as already part of the league even though they didn't play with us last year, the league was already full.

Do we have any other volunteers to run the league, maybe i missed someone...?


votes in favor 4-0 👍

01. We have 10 players, do we want to pursue 12?
02. Consensus for the platform seems to be Yahoo, or "I don't care," which is the same thing.
03. ChiBitCTy volunteered for comish, no one else wants the job.
04. I held the funds last year, happy to serve the roll once again.
05. I suggest we keep it between 0.0015 and 0.0025BTC before suchmoon has his say.
06. PPR votes so far are 2 in favor, 4 opposed, see below
07. I vote for blockchain determining draft order, that makes 5 votes in favor by my count.

No PPR:
Hueristic, suchmoon, morvillz7z, DireWolfM14

PPR:
wheelz1200

Sorry, I meant to respond to this sooner; I would love for 1st downs to be scored.  I don't think that's an option in any of the FFL platforms.

ETA:

Yaaaay!  Nutildah's in!

I'd prefer 10, not particularly opposed to 12 either. I have no experience with larger leagues obviously, but I'm a bit concerned if everyone will have the motivation for the whole season with more people and weaker teams.

If we go with 12 let's pay top 3.


ok


I hear Hue's concerns but if the commissioner is just managing the league and not making decisions (e.g. PPR vs no PPR) then I don't see a problem.

Someone wanting to do it is better than someone who may not always have time etc.


ok


I'm fine with 0.025 of course

No, seriously, Bitcoin is worthless right now, let's make it at least the equivalent of $500.


Count me as opposed.

I'm good with that.


Or that.

I tend to agree with this sentiment, I don't see a problem with ChiBitCTy doing it.  Once the initial setup is done I don't know how much influence the commissioner really has on the league anyway.

---

Count me in.  That's two votes for 0.0025BTC

Fair enough, I've removed you and ChiBitCTy from the voting.  With suchmoon's vote those opposed remain at 4, but wheelz is left solo with his vote in favor.

 

01. I am fine either way, however a time limit should be put in place, as there are already people practicing for the draft and it is different to draft for a 10 player league than for a 12 player league.
02. I am fine with Yahoo.
03. I will abstain to vote on this, as the previous LM with your support it would have been the easiest for everyone for me to keep the job, but I really do not have the time do it, and since in a way I am pushing that job onto someone else then I prefer to not vote about this and I am fine with whoever wants to take the job.
04. Great.
05. I am fine with it.
06. I vote for Non-PPR, while the arguments put forward for Non-PPR are convincing, my vote is mostly out of convenience, we played Non-PPR last year, and I admit I was terrible but at least now I have some experience with it and I do not want to start from zero again.
07. aye  

To the list I will also add to the topics we need to discuss the following:
08. Do we use divisions or not? Last year we had two divisions but maybe you will prefer not to.
09. Structure of the playoffs.
10. Length of the league. Last year the league lasted until the very last week of the regular season, but it could be a good idea to shorten the league in order to avoid teams resting their starters for the playoffs and other similar circumstances.

Yeah divisions aren't really necessary.  I prefer not having any myself.  I think all they really do is select who you might play a second time versus not having them I think they just select who you play against more than once by random or by the order you simply sign up to play in the league.  

As for when playoffs start...  the last week of the season should never be played.  Many teams sit their best players in preparation for the post- season, so playing that last week is often not very fair as teams will have guys resting on their bench when the games matter the most.  Of course then when you should start the playoffs would depend on how everyone wants the playoffs to go/how many teams to make the playoffs etc ( it sounds like everyone is on board with this).

I think i've answered most of those but let's have it in one place:

01. 12 would've been perfect, but 10 is alright by me
02. Yahoo
03. Anyone who wants to do it...
04. DireWolfM14
05. Sounds good
06. Non-PPR
07. Aye Aye! 


08. No divisions, please!
09/10. Semis in Week 16 and Championship game in Week 17 (ESPN default settings suck ass).

I would also like to have at least 2 IR spots (i think that's the default setting in Yahoo), 1 was not ideal last year. By the way, the NFL has made some changes in that regard:

source: https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/news/nfl-multiple-rule-changes-2022

For example 4 teams, 6 teams (with wildcard round), or 8 teams in the playoffs. Is playoff round one game or two games (like we had last year).

It also depends on whether we have 10 teams or 12. With 12 teams I think I would prefer to have just one regular season game with each other (that's 11 weeks) and expanded playoffs (8 teams and/or 2 games per round) to fill it up to 16 or 17 weeks, instead of having some random games added to the regular season.

Edit: of course there is also an option to have no playoffs at all.

Is there a difference between playing 10 teams and 12 teams? In any case, I might regret this suggestion later. I suggest for everyone's continued motivation until the end of the season, bottom 2 teams pay between $20 and $25 each.
